If I mount the antenna differently the distance to the trees could be as much as 100 feet. I'm assuming by the question that distance is your friend when it comes to dealing with trees? I might be able to also trim the lower branches of the nearest trees to the height of the antenna if it will have a significant impact.
Yes, more distance from the trees will help. I had to trim some branches coming onto my roof from an adjacent property and while it didn't help much with the signal quality it did reduce the chances of a limb dropping onto the antenna.
